MICAIAH

The man across from me looked like he was a trained warrior. As we get into our stances, I notice the way his hands are set he is right-handed, but his legs are set opposite of what they should be. This was different, he was trying to throw me off and counter with my distraction. It was five minutes of us circling each other, waiting for the other to strike. So, I did what most rogues do, I played on his anger.

“Is the poor tiny wolf scared to get his ass beat by a woman?” He lowly growled to where only us wolves could hear what it was. “Fuck it, let’s fight”, he said aggravated and impatiently.

We lunged at each at the same time. I landed a few, he landed a few. His punches felt like I was being hit with cement blocks. I went to throw him off with a side kick that he caught in mid-air. As I am hoping on one foot, I used his hand as a barrier and jumped kicking him in the jaw with my left foot. He grunted as he fell backwards landing his back on the steel of the cage. He shook it off fast and was on his feet again in no time. He threw a few sporadic punches, catching me off guard he kicked landing right in my mid-section. I flew a foot back landing hard on the mat. I could not waste time, I quickly kipped up to my feet regaining my balance.

This continued for about thirty minutes though it felt like an hour. I knew I had to keep my composure; I couldn’t let my frustration seep through as I seen my opponent Shawn letting his. He was no longer thinking of his moves he was just acting on impulse. I let this play out for me to get the upper hand. I grabbed his hand as he threw a punch and hip tossed him to the mat and grappled him until I got him in an arm bar.

Finally, I broke his grip and after thirty seconds of being in this maneuver he tapped. We stood to our feet, and I shook his hand, “You are one hell of a fighter.” “As are you Micaiah.” I stared at him as he stared at me, I could tell he was mind-linking someone. Suddenly Emma was at his side, “Ki, you are impressive.” I was in shock when I heard his voice for the first time in years. “Ki, is that really you.” EJ appeared by Emma, and I let out the breath I did not know I was holding. “EJ”, I ran to him hugging him like it would be the last time I would ever see him.

He returned my hug, I then heard Dylan and the others coming into the ring, so I turned to face them wanting to introduce them. “Kiah, girl still kicking ass I see.” Suddenly he threw his nose in the air catching a scent and his eyes snapped to Shawn, my opponent. “MATE.” They said in unison. They ran to each other and shared a hug, yes Dylan finally found his mate before I could congratulate him, I felt a presence behind me, the scent from earlier returned. “Kiah, I would like to introduce you to my brother, Alpha Summers.”

Emma introduced I spun around so fast, directly in front of me I seen the most beautiful man I have ever laid eyes on. he was over six-foot, tan, his black t-shirt stuck to his muscular skin. I looked into his icy blue eyes and Akiva began screaming in my head the one thing we both were worried we never would replace. “MATE”, we both said and everyone around us was in complete shock besides EJ and Emma. “I think we should go to that diner and all talk before the humans get suspicious.”

At the diner sitting across from my mate, EJ, and Emma, with Dylan and his mate Shawn beside us. I was fiddling with my hands under the table, my stomach in knots. “Ki, I have missed you so much, I wish you would have just called me, but I understand why you didn’t.” “Thanks EJ, really it means a lot to me. Right now, I think there are a few things that need discussed.”

I say looking over at Emma’s brother Alpha Summers. EJ and Emma get up and go to another table as do Shawn and Dylan. I know he is super happy he has always dreamed of replaceing his mate. I had no clue what my mate was thinking he has been silent ever since the fight. Before we spoke the waiter came to take an order, “Hi, there what can I get you and this beautiful lady?” He asked eyeing me like I was a piece of meat. Before I can tell him where to go with his flirtation, my mate spoke first “We would like two double bacon cheeseburgers, with loaded fries, two Coca-Cola’s,” his voice was deep, rough, captivating.

The waiter was writing our order down quickly. “Also, since you have no respect for women and think it is okay to eye them like your next meal we would also like another waiter. That will be all thank you.” The waiter turned and went to the kitchen, I just stared across the table at a man who held so much authority in his words, and I still didn’t know a thing about him.

“Uhm, well how are you,” I didn’t know what else to say. “I am good, so when shall you be arriving to my pack?” Seriously, no hi nice to meet, how are you, nothing. “Excuse me?” “When will you and your three companions be joining my pack.” “You are a real charmer, aren’t you?” I just got up from the table needing air. As I walked out the door my hand was grabbed by my mate, I can tell from the sparks from his touch.

“Why are you running off? That is not how a mate is supposed to act.” When I turned, I seen the whole clan watching from outside the diner, “Are you fucking kidding me? I just met you, ask you how you are, all I get is when are you moving to my pack. You are telling me that I am not acting like a mate. I tried to start a conversation with you, you did not even try to get to know me nothing.” “I mean you are my mate, my packs Luna I needed to know to get preparations ready.” “All you care about is titles and looking the part.” I did not know what else to say or do so I walk home. I mean Dylan and I used to hangout all the time talking about meeting our mates and dreaming of love and all the things that came with that. I guess that was too much to ask for.

About thirty minutes later both Dylan and Sean walked in. “Hey Ki bear, how are you?” “Hey dilly bear, just peachy.” “Dilly bear, yes, I am using that one,” Shawn chuckles aloud. “Shawn, seriously?” “Sorry, later. Seriously though Micaiah, how are you holding up.” “I don’t know. I mean Dylan and I used to talk about what we wanted our mated to be like and for me that did not happen.” “Oh, Ki, come here.” Dylan sat beside me hugging me, letting me vent to him.

Seriously the greatest friend in the world. Shawn then sat on the other side of me, “I know he is difficult. He is not used to sharing feelings like ever. I mean ever, ever since he was young.” “What do you mean Shawn?” “That is not my story to tell. He wants you as his mate trust me. Just be patient with him.” I did not say anything to him I was unsure of what to say. “Come on Ki, you are a bad bitch with a heart of gold. Just give it a try.” “Okay, if you both stop giving me those ogle eyes and tell me about you to.”

They just smiled at me, and Dylan blushed, “Oh you two are so cute. Who would of known the big warrior would be a softy?” We sat there for what seemed like hours talking and I am so happy Shawn and Dylan are mates.
